Abstract: This paper studies a number of reasons that effect on the overall output electrical energy of a solar cell, to find the best angle at morning, noon and afternoon times in installing a solar cell system in Koya.. The study was conducted for three (3) months in Koya City-Kurdistan region of Iraq in 2014. It was found that the best Azimuth angle is between (330 o-340 o) whereas the best incident angles are 27 o at the mornings, 60 o at the noon and 25 o at the afternoons in the Koya City. Moreover, the output ele… Show more

This review article prepares an evaluation of the role that solar energy plays, in Kurdistan, Iraq. Specifically, it concentrates on the implications for the region’s economy and environment. By considering sources and empirical studies this review provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of solar energy adoption in Kurdistan. In addition, it explores the associated policy framework. Evaluates both the economic effects, within this specific context. The initial analysis discovers the network of policies and regulations that shape the energy landscape in Kurdistan. It prepares insights, into the opportunities and challenges associated with these policies. The study also considers the advancements in photovoltaic systems, energy storage, and grid integration in this region. These advancements play a significant role in ensuring efficient solar power generation. Moreover, this review thoroughly evaluates the impact of energy. It emphasizes how cost-effective it is and highlights its potential to increase energy security mitigate reliance on fuels and stimulate growth, in Kurdistan. It also discovers the barriers to adoption, offering insights into financing mechanisms and investment strategies essential for unlocking the full economic potential of solar energy. In the realm of environmental considerations, this review evaluates the profound effect of solar energy adoption in terms of reducing carbon emissions, reducing air pollution, and promoting sustainable development. The results emphasize the regional commitment to a cleaner and more environmentally responsible energy infrastructure. Finally, this review underscores the multifaceted opportunities and challenges that solar energy presents in Kurdistan. By preparing a balanced evaluation of policy, technology, economics, and environmental aspects, it equips policymakers, scholars, and industry stakeholders with valuable insights for fostering the widespread integration of solar energy in this dynamic region. Through critical analysis and nuanced recommendations, this review contributes to the current discourse on Kurdistan's transition toward a sustainable and economically viable energy landscape.

Kurdistan region government(KRG) is located to the north of Iraq, its Energy System has suffered from a lack of electricity, and many challenges to be overcome to meet future increases in demand for power, about 85% of the production of power is almost depended on fossils fuels, while the remaining 15% is covered by hydro-electrical plants. Therefore, the renewable energy sources are alternative sources of energy for reducing energy demand and CO2 emissions in KRG. In order to review the Kurdistan potential renewable energy and social-acceptance toward renewable energy source use and implementations, mixed methodology was used qualitative and quantitative to provide the most complete analysis of study problems. In this study, the potential renewable energy sources (RES) has been examined as well as the survey which was designed with three groups of questions: awareness of renewable energy sources, person background information and willingness to invest in renewable energy sources. The result showed that Kurdistan region has a great ability to utilize renewable energy sources and long-term economic viability of using RES in house wasn’t clear for 40% of 320 interviews. About 63% of the participants were ready to pay extra cost to get renewable energy. The majority of the participant think that public sector should take the first step towards renewable energy production as well as providing incentives and business models to motivate peoples to implement RES in their building.
